"On behalf of The Playhouse Company, I speak for all when I express our deepest condolences to the Lipschitz family in this trying and painful time.

Mr Lipschitz campaigned for the recognition of the arts in both Durban/KZN and nationally. He will be remembered as an ex Playhouse Board member as well as having been an ex Mayor of Durban. Mr Lipschitz, thank you for your contribution and dedication to the arts and to the city of Durban, and may you rest in peace". Professor Caesar Ndlovu, Managing Director, The Playhouse Company
